Singapore is officially one of the world's best cities to explore after dark
Here's what Travelbag has done: it has analysed more than 100 major cities, examining Instagram hashtag volume, levels of light and noise pollution, after-dark safety scores, and the number of venues and attractions that stay open well after the sun goes down. The result is a list of the 10 best cities for nighttime tourism, and Singapore ranks at a very respectable No. 4 in the world.
For one, Travelbag found that this little red dot has almost 450 venues open late at night. We reckon that this covers expected spots such as bars (which number among the best in the world) and nightclubs (both mainstream and under-the-radar). But let's not forget other attractions you can hit up past dinnertime: how about a moonlit ride on the Singapore Flyer or a heartfelt karaoke night at a KTV studio? And perhaps the best part – the sheer number of supper spots where you can fuel up. Check out our round-up of the best late-night dining places from hotpot restaurants to dim sum joints.
The real clincher, though, is that Singapore is so damn safe: we score 77 out of 100 on the after-dark safety measure. It's only the sixth-safest in the list after cities like Abu Dhabi (87 points) and Taipei (85 points), but we can say from experience that this is one of the rare places in the world where you can walk freely at night with little fear.
Check out Travelbag's complete study here and a fuller breakdown of Asia's best cities for night tourism here.

5 of the world's most picturesque road trips
By Road tripping is one of the best ways to see some of the most beautiful parts of the world at your own pace and freedom. Whether it's driving your own vehicle or renting an iconic car in the country you're visiting, a road trip offers the flexibility and control to see as much of stunning locations as you can. They often represent good value for money, especially when you're going off the beaten track to find unearthed beauty spots, quiet areas not overrun by tourists, and sights you simply wouldn't experience on a guided tour. But which roads trips are the most picturesque of all? A study by used car retailer Cinch looked at the 40 most iconic driving routes spanning six continents, then rattled the order down to the top five that have accumulated the highest volume of photos posted on Instagram - with the most snapped of all clocking a massive 2.4 million hashtag mentions. And while three of the standout picturesque road trips are a long-haul flight away on the other side of the globe, two are much closer to home - and the reality is you could jump in your car this weekend and enjoy their breathtaking views. 5. North Coast 500, Scotland At 516 miles long - hence the NC500 name - it will take between five and seven days to complete if you're really soaking up the scenery and stopping regularly. Though it can easily be completed in a weekend, if you're willing to take in the scenery while on the move. 4. Blue Ridge Parkway, USA The Blue Ridge Parkway secures fourth place with 722,047 Instagram hashtag mentions, with the majority from #blueridgeparkway. This 469-mile scenic route connects Virginia and North Carolina, linking Shenandoah National Park to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. While the full journey takes approximately 10 hours of driving time, visitors typically allocate between three and five days to fully explore the parkway's scenic views and natural wonders. And the leisurely 45mph speed limit (with some stretches at lower speeds of 25 or 35mph) encourages travelers to take in the mountain vistas slowly and carefully. 3. Great Ocean Road, Australia With over 1.6 million hashtag posts - #greatoceanroad accounting for 1.5 million and #greatoceanroadtrip over 113k - Australia's Great Ocean Road is a worthy entrant in our list of most picturesque road trips. This 150-mile route spans from Torquay to Allansford is one of the shorter journeys on the list. But visitors recommend taking between two and four days to soak in everything it has to offer. Travelers who have taken it in recommend driving from east to west to stay on the same side of the road as the ocean. With a TripAdvisor rating of 4.8, the Great Ocean Road lives up to its name. 2. Wild Atlantic Way, Ireland Another of the world's most amazing - and most snapped - road trips is the second on our list that's extremely close to home. Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way secures second place in this list with over 1.9 million Instagram hashtag mentions, mostly driven by the #wildatlanticway hashtag alongside breathtaking coastal imagery. This amazing 1,600-mile stretch takes holidaymakers from the Inishowen Peninsula in County Donegal to Kinsale in County Cork, claiming the title of the world's longest defined coastal route. Those who can secure long holidays or those who are enjoying retirement can extend the trip to weeks to enjoy everything this road trip has to offer. Though, it can be done in just days, if you're willing to miss out on some of the attractions Ireland's most picture-perfect route offers. With a 4.8-star TripAdvisor rating, this route continues to blow visitors away. Many said they were surprised by how pristine the beaches are - while the emerald green rolling hills are never ending in parts. 1. Route 66, USA It might sound like a cliché but Route 66 is by far the world's most Instagrammed road trip, amassing a whopping 2.4 million posts by visitors who have driven it in full - or just parts. The latter is understandable, given the entirety of Route 66 is almost 2,500 miles long and takes at least two to three weeks to complete start to finish. For the true experience, it's best completed in an American muscle car, like a convertible Ford Mustang. The legendary 2,448-mile highway connects Chicago to Los Angeles, cutting right through America's heartland. Route 66 attracts adventurers seeking authentic American experiences, from major cities to ghost towns and everything in between.

Inside Bridgerton star Nicola Coughlan's $2,900-per-night stay at celebrity-favourite resort in Adelaide as the actress soaks in the spa and enjoys luxurious dinners
has been living in the lap of luxury while visiting South Australia - and it comes with a whopping price tag. The Bridgeton actress, who is currently enjoying a relaxing holiday with her boyfriend Jake Dunn, took to Instagram on Tuesday to share a sneak peek of her trip to Adelaide. 'June in OZ,' the 38-year-old captioned the Instagram post, which showed a slew of photos documenting her time in the Land Down Under. 'Feeling very sad to leave but very grateful to have had such a beautiful trip.' One image captured the Irish star posing in front of a colourful Aussie sunset and another showed her with a giant smile on her face as she took a dip in a hot tub under a sky full of stars. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Both photos were taken at the luxurious Sequoia Lodge in the Adelaide Hills. Sequoia is an immersive and inclusive adults-only lodge, offering 14 suites, countless activities - think healing pools, cocktail-making classes and outstanding dining 'journeys' - and brilliant customer service. 'Sequoia will take you by the hand, sweep you off your feet, and will do everything to make this the trip of your lifetime,' they promise. 'Part of our philosophy is to connect you with the land and its people through a range of intimate and curated on-site experiences that are included in your stay.' The actress gave a special shout-out to the accommodation in her Instagram caption, saying it was the 'most beautiful' spot. '@sequoiaaustralia where I found out I'm INCREDIBLE at Jenga and sat in an outside jacuzzi and had the best food in the most beautiful lodge in the mountains,' she penned. Sequoia's modern suites come in all shapes, sizes and prices, ranging between $1,499 and $2,900 a night depending on when you decide to visit. Nicola also dined at the hotel's award-winning restaurant Hardy's Verandah, which has earned a 3-hat rating thanks to its degustation menu, wine pairings and gorgeous panoramic views. 'June in OZ,' the 38-year-old captioned the Instagram post, which showed a slew of pictures documenting her time in the Land Down Under Both the lodge and restaurant are located on the 30-acre Mount Lofty Estate, which offers a number of lookouts, hiking trails and walking paths for guests to stretch their legs. Thanks to its luxury details and private setting, Sequoia has been frequented by various big-name celebrities, including The Beatles' alum Paul McCartney and tennis star Novak Djokovic. Later on in the post, the Barbie actress also revealed that she had stayed at the Capella in Sydney, which she said felt like staying in 'a gorgeous art gallery'. She also popped by the Sydney accommodation used in the hit Aussie series Married At First Sight, which was seemingly a highlight for the British star.
